M1170 Windrower, featuring Dual Direction®and CrossFlex™rear suspension
1016391
Published: July 2018

Introduction
This manual contains unloading, assembly, and predelivery information for the MacDon M1170 Windrower, which
when coupled with one of MacDon’s A40DX, R1 SP Series, D1X Series, or D1XL Series Headers provides a
package designed to cut and lay a variety of grain, hay, and specialty crops in windrows.
The M1170 Windrower is Dual Direction®, meaning that the windrower can be driven in the cab-forward or the
engine-forward mode. Right and left designations are determined by the operator’s position facing the direction of
travel. This manual uses the terms right cab-forward, left cab-forward, right engine-forward, and left engine-forward
when referencing specific locations on the machine.
The ignition keys were shipped with the shipping documents and are used to lock the cab doors and tool box
compartment.
NOTE:
Keep your MacDon publications up-to-date. The most current version can be downloaded from our website

1.2 General Safety
1000004
Figure 1.1: Safety Equipment
CAUTION
The following are general farm safety precautions that
should be part of your operating procedure for all types
of machinery.
Protect yourself.
•When assembling, operating, and servicing machinery,
wear all protective clothing and personal safety devices
that could be necessary for job at hand. Do NOT take
chances. You may need the following:
•Hard hat
•Protective footwear with slip-resistant soles
•Protective glasses or goggles
•Heavy gloves
•Wet weather gear
•Respirator or filter mask
1000005
Figure 1.2: Safety Equipment
•Be aware that exposure to loud noises can cause hearing
impairment or loss. Wear suitable hearing protection
devices such as earmuffs or earplugs to help protect
against loud noises.
1010391
Figure 1.3: Safety Equipment
•Provide a first aid kit for use in case of emergencies.
•Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine. Be sure fire
extinguisher is properly maintained. Be familiar with its
proper use.
•Keep young children away from machinery at all times.
•Be aware that accidents often happen when Operator is
tired or in a hurry. Take time to consider safest way.
Never ignore warning signs of fatigue.
SAFETY

214735 3Revision A
1000007
Figure 1.4: Safety around Equipment
•Wear close-fitting clothing and cover long hair. Never
wear dangling items such as scarves or bracelets.
•Keep all shields in place. NEVER alter or remove safety
equipment. Make sure driveline guards can rotate
independently of shaft and can telescope freely.
•Use only service and repair parts made or approved by
equipment manufacturer. Substituted parts may not meet
strength, design, or safety requirements.
1000008
Figure 1.5: Safety around Equipment
•Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from moving
parts. NEVER attempt to clear obstructions or objects
from a machine while engine is running.
•Do NOT modify machine. Unauthorized modifications
may impair machine function and/or safety. It may also
shorten machine’s life.
•To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of
machine, ALWAYS stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for
any reason.
1000009
Figure 1.6: Safety around Equipment
•Keep service area clean and dry. Wet or oily floors are
slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working with
electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and
tools are properly grounded.
•Keep work area well lit.
•Keep machinery clean. Straw and chaff on a hot engine is
a fire hazard. Do NOT allow oil or grease to accumulate
on service platforms, ladders, or controls. Clean
machines before storage.
•NEVER use gasoline, naphtha, or any volatile material for
cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or
flammable.
•When storing machinery, cover sharp or extending
components to prevent injury from accidental contact.
SAFETY

214735 4Revision A
1.3 Tire Safety
1000020
Figure 1.7: Overinflated Tire
WARNING
•Service tires safely.
•A tire can explode during inflation which could cause
serious injury or death.
•Follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a
wheel or rim. Failure to do so can produce an
explosion that may result in serious injury or death.
1000019
Figure 1.8: Safely Inflating Tire
WARNING
•Do NOT stand over tire. Use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose.
•Do NOT exceed maximum inflation pressure indicated
on tire label.
•Replace tires that have defects.
•Replace wheel rims that are cracked, worn, or
severely rusted.
•Never weld a wheel rim.
•Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire.
•Make sure tire is correctly seated before inflating to
operating pressure.
•If tire is not correctly positioned on rim or is overinflated, tire bead can loosen on one side causing air
to escape at high speed and with great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust tire in any direction
endangering anyone in area.
•Make sure all air is removed from tire before removing tire from rim.
•Do NOT remove, install, or repair a tire on a rim unless you have proper equipment and experience to
perform job.
•Take tire and rim to a qualified tire repair shop.

1.4 Battery Safety
1000015
Figure 1.9: Safety around Batteries
WARNING
•Keep all sparks and flames away from batteries, as a
gas given off by electrolyte is explosive.
•Ventilate when charging in enclosed space.
1000016
Figure 1.10: Safety around Batteries
WARNING
•Wear safety glasses when working near batteries.
•Do NOT tip batteries more than 45° to avoid
electrolyte loss.
•Battery electrolyte causes severe burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
•Electrolyte splashed into eyes is extremely
dangerous. Should this occur, force eye open, and
flood with cool, clean water for 5 minutes. Call a
doctor immediately.
•If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on clothing or
body, neutralize it immediately with a solution of
baking soda and water, then rinse with clear water.
1000017
Figure 1.11: Safety around Batteries
WARNING
•To avoid injury from spark or short circuit, disconnect
battery ground cable before servicing any part of
electrical system.
•Do NOT operate engine with alternator or battery
disconnected. With battery cables disconnected and
engine running, a high voltage can be built up if
terminals touch frame. Anyone touching frame under
these conditions would be severely shocked.
•When working around storage batteries, remember
that all of the exposed metal parts are live. Never lay a
metal object across terminals because a spark or
short circuit will result.
•Keep batteries out of reach of children.
SAFETY

214735 6Revision A
1.5 Welding Precaution
WARNING
It is very important that correct procedures be followed when welding anything connected to the
windrower. If procedures are not followed, it could result in severe damage to sensitive, expensive
electronics. Even if complete failure of a module doesn’t happen immediately, it is impossible to know
what effect high current could have with regard to future malfunctions or shorter lifespan.
Due to the number of connectors, components to be welded should be removed from the windrower whenever
possible rather than welded in place. When work needs to be completed on a header, disconnect the header
completely from the windrower before welding. These same guidelines apply to plasma cutting, or any other high
current electrical operation performed on the machine.
The following items need to be disconnected:
10176211017621

•Negative battery terminals (A) (two connections)
IMPORTANT:
Always disconnect the battery terminals first, and
reconnect them last.

•Master controller (A)
Four connectors: P231, P232, P233, and P234
Location: Behind cab, near header lift/fan manifold
To disconnect the connectors, press the two outer tabs,
and pull the connector away from master controller.
IMPORTANT:
When reconnecting these connectors, double-check that
the connectors are fully seated into the master controller,
and that the two locking tabs on each end of all four
connectors have popped outward. If the tabs are not
popped outward, the connector is not fully seated.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT power up or operate the windrower until these
connectors are locked into place.

214735 10 Revision A
IMPORTANT:
To connect circular Deutsch connectors without bending the pins, align connector with receptacle before attempting
to reconnect.
To align the connectors:
1. Observe the channel cuts and mating channel protrusions on the inner part of the circular walls of the
connectors.
2. Face the mating connectors to each other, and rotate connectors so that channels are aligned.
3. Press connectors together while turning the outer connector clockwise until collar locks.
